The Rebirth of the First Daughter as the Head of the Family

Chapter 44
Qin Wan was grateful for Miss Song Er's great kindness again.

After entering the house, Song Jinyue said to Qin Wan that the maids and maids brought back to the mansion today were all sent by their grandfather's family, and they will live with them in the future.

As soon as she was seated, Song Jinyue asked Qiu Yun to go to the concierge to find Xiang's brothers, and let them go to the restaurant in the city to settle down first, and she would go to find them later.

By the way, I also inquired, the little grandmother brought those people this time.

Although, just now, when the little grandmother was in the main hall, she mentioned that she would bring her grandchildren along with her, but she couldn't guarantee that the servants who followed her would get mixed up with them, so she naturally had to be aware of them.

Song Jinyue learned from Qin Wan that the two maids, Chunchan and Yunxing, were ill, so she asked Qiuyun to send a tael of silver to each of them, and told them to rest well.

Song Jinyue returned to the main room, and was changed by Nanny Yuan herself.

Song Jinyue asked to inform Shen again that she had brought a nanny and two maidservants from her grandfather's house. The monthly money of these three people was paid out of her own private treasury, not the public money.

Naturally, the contract of sale of these three people was not handed over to the public, but kept by her personally.

The maidservant who sent the letter to Mrs. Shen was hastily dismissed, Mrs. Shen was quite impatient, and only replied "Understood", without further words.

After all, the most troublesome thing right now is the aunt living in the mansion.

She has already learned from the steward that the Grand Duke asked her to study with her aunt. To put it bluntly, her aunt will take away all the rights to run the house in the future, and she is an elder. How can Chen feel that this is for her to study?

This is clearly slapping her in the face!
If this matter gets out, how will she gain a foothold in the capital's high gate compound in the future?
But now, this is a foregone conclusion. There is no room for concessions in front of the Duke.

Inside Ming Zhuxuan.

Qiu Yun was finishing what her young lady ordered, and when she came back, she accompanied her to go out of the house again.

The Duke's Mansion is in chaos, and the servants are in panic.

I don't know whether to obey Mrs. Song in the future, or continue to curry favor with Shen.

Song Jinyue asked the servant to prepare a carriage, and then left the mansion through the back door. Neither Mrs. Shen nor Song Guogong knew about her leaving the mansion.

The Xiang family brothers live in the Changxing Inn across the long street from the Duke's Mansion.

Song Jinyue let the carriage of the Duke's Mansion walk two long streets, and finally stopped in front of a teahouse, and took Qiu Yun from the backyard of the teahouse to the Changxing Inn.

When they arrived at the Changxing Inn, Song Jinyue asked for a private room with the shopkeeper, and ordered a table full of delicacies, and when the dishes were served, the inn boy retreated.

After about half a cup of tea, the door of the private room was knocked twice.

Qiu Yun immediately walked to the door, huddled in the crack of the door, and asked in a low voice, "Who?"

"Miss, it's us two brothers."

Xiang Wu's voice came from outside the door, Qiu Yun looked at her young lady, and saw that the young lady signaled her to open the door of the private room.

Qiu Yun then slowly pushed open the door, and the brothers from the Xiang family outside the door greeted Qiu Yun, Qiu Yun turned sideways, and the brothers from the Xiang family stepped into the private room.

Qiu Yun looked outside again and saw nothing unusual around her, so she went back to the private room and locked the door.

"Miss."

"..."

The two brothers of the Xiang family knelt on the ground and saluted Song Jinyue respectfully.

Song Jinyue lightly raised her plain jade hand, motioning for the two to get up and sit down.

But the brothers of the Xiang family didn't dare to sit down, they just stood aside and refused to go forward.

Song Jinyue smiled helplessly: "Forget it, I don't want you to make any detours. Is there anything unusual about going to the south of the Yangtze River? Tell me carefully."

"Miss Hui, the two of us arrived in Jiangnan in the middle of the afternoon yesterday. Mrs. Song's eyes were straightened when she saw the white jade Guanyin, and immediately ordered someone to pack up a few changes of clothes, and brought the mother-in-law and two maidservants with her. , the capital city that came by water all night.”

When Xiang Wu mentioned Mrs. Song's expression that day, he couldn't help but click his tongue.

The Song family in the south of the Yangtze River is also well off. Are there any good things in the mansion?

But when Mrs. Song heard that they were here to pick her up to the Duke of Song's Mansion in the capital, her eyeballs almost blew out.

"Before leaving, Mrs. Song ordered her daughter-in-law to prepare the clothes for the four seasons, and asked the mother-in-law to escort the son and miss of the Song family to the capital the next day."

Song Jinyue learned about this from her grandmother when she was in the main hall.

But she didn't believe it would be that simple.

"But there are others?"

Seeing the lady's questioning, Xiang Wu scratched his head, but he still didn't realize that there was something wrong with Mrs. Song's trip.

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head.

Song Jinyue was somewhat disappointed.

Xiang Shu saw that the young lady was disappointed, so he pushed his elder brother, grinning and said to the young lady, "Miss, I heard a strange thing."

As soon as these words came out, Song Jinyue's eyes suddenly lit up again.

Full of curiosity and inquiry, he looked at Xiang Shu, beckoning him to speak directly.

"The young lady from the Song family heard that she had promised a poor son from a Jinshi family in the south of the Yangtze River. She seemed to have made an appointment, but on the way back to Beijing, the young lady heard the old lady discussing with her mother-in-law..."

Xiang Shu suppressed a smile, Mrs. Song is really not afraid of damaging her granddaughter's reputation.

"It is said that he brought his granddaughter to the capital to choose a new son-in-law, and he also said that when he arrives in the capital, the Duke of the State will come forward to cancel the marriage in the south of the Yangtze River."

Song Jinyue was extremely shocked when she heard this.

Mrs. Song really didn't suffer at all.

As long as there is a little bit of hope, the marriage of the granddaughter who has already been engaged can be canceled when he turns around.

I am afraid that there is no old lady in the whole capital who can do this matter.

"The young master has not yet engaged in marriage, so the old lady is thinking about choosing a marriage in the capital."

Xiang Wu looked at his younger brother, feeling puzzled, obviously the two brothers had been staying together.

Where did the younger brother find out the news?
Really underestimated my brother.

Song Jinyue asked the uncle and aunt in Jiangnan again, and only then did she find out that because Jiangnan's business was tied up, the uncle couldn't get away, and the aunt was helping the uncle, so she never came, maybe she didn't want to?

After all, that uncle had had a big fight with his mother ever since he learned of those shocking feats his mother had done.

I heard that when my grandmother first came to Jiangnan, my uncle left the house to my grandmother, and he took his wife and children and went to another courtyard. This stay lasted for three years.

It eased up a little later.

Song Jinyue got the answer she wanted, and then left the inn with Qiu Yun.

He also asked Xiang's brothers to live in peace of mind. After a few days, they found a suitable courtyard and moved there temporarily.

After all, she kept Brother Xiang's family because she wanted to do some outside business.

If it is brought back to the mansion, it will not be very convenient to travel after all, and it will inevitably make Shen Shi suspicious.

Song Jinyue didn't stay on the street too much, and went straight to the backyard of the teahouse after leaving the inn, and walked out from the main entrance of the teahouse, and took the carriage of the Duke's Mansion back to the Duke's Mansion directly.

Sitting on the carriage, Qiu Yun squatted beside the young lady, pinching her feet for her own lady, and asked in a low voice: "Miss, do you think Mrs. Song will really force her granddaughter to withdraw?"
